Just more feel-good stories for the day... http://worldnewsviews.com/2013/08/27/tcu-college-freshman-is-just-11-years-old/ FORT WORTH (CBS 11 NEWS) - Texas Christian University is welcoming a young man who may be its youngest student ever. At just 11 years old, Carson Huey-You is beginning his freshman year at the university in Fort Worth. According to TCU 360, Carson is studying to become a quantum physicist. Carson was co-valedictorian of his senior class, scored a 1770 on his SAT, speaks Mandarin Chinese and plays the piano, according to the campus newspaper. He was admitted to TCU at the tender age of 10. The dean of admission says he can’t remember having an applicant so young. If he graduates as his parents expect, in four to five years, Carson will have a college diploma before or at the same time he gets his driver’s license. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/jWB7sXL9BuU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I'll give you the original story that was written by a good friend of mine: http://www.tcu360.com/campus/2013/08/18281.tcu-admits-11-year-old-first-year-student
3 sections, worth 800 pts each. 1770 is not that good of a score to be totally honest. It's probably in the lower half of TCU admitted students.
There wasn't 3 parts when i took the SAT back in the day. Your right, 1770 out of 2400 wouldn't be all that great, but he is 11.
Yeah but his math score was a 620, when he's taking college calculus, that's pretty low. I got a 800 on the math section without a calculator and I'm no math major for sure.
From the TCU website regarding SAT scores... http://www.admissions.tcu.edu/Academics/Testing-Policy#What-test-scores At TCU, we consider your ACT or SAT scores in the context of your entire application. Therefore, we do not have a certain score that will guarantee admission nor do we have a certain scores that would automatically prevent admission. These mid-50 percent ranges represent scores that are generally considered competitive for admission when accompanied by other criteria that indicate potential academic success. This means that 25 percent of TCU freshmen scored below 1670 or 25, and 25 percent of our freshmen score above 1900 or 30. Half of them, or 50 percent, scored in the middle of this range.
I think almost all schools have no cut-off anymore, but your score does help. Obviously the kid was co-valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA, seems like he can handle the classes and I'm sure his application was excellent too. TCU, maybe more than other schools, really looks for unique cases and the entire application, no just grades/test scores.
I got a 1770 and scored better than like 80 percent of Texas students. This 11 year old is smarter than I am and 80 percent of Texas students. I'm probably sexier though.
